Trauma Recovery Anonymous

Please hear what I am about to tell you. If you are new to my podcast, I have been banging on about this forever, in the hope that the truth of mental disorders will shake up, stir up those diagnosed with disorders, or, more importantly, the 390 million people misdiagnosed with mental disorders, into realising some harsh truths.

The very first time we see a doctor or therapist, they don't know us from Adam; we are complete strangers to them.

We pay for our appointment, and we want a solution to how we feel. 

So we paint a picture to convey how bad it can feel to be us.

We paint a picture of life at its worst: anger, resentments, fear, dread, despair, despondency, frustration, shame, blame, guilt, remorse; we paint the worst picture imaginable because we need the professional to give us a solution.

That person cannot diagnose us on the spot in good faith, because they are only hearing one aspect of our lives.

But trying to offer some form of a solution that can give us some sense of peace and relief, they offer their opinion of what the problem might be.

If it is a fear or anger about the past, their opinion will usually focus on Depression or PTSD

If it is fear of the unknown future, or people, places, or things, their opinion will generally be Anxiety.

In each of these cases, we are receiving an opinion from an empathetic, kind human being, striving to help us out of our mood imbalance.

But understand, it is only their opinion; they might be wrong.

It's us, you, and I who decide to turn an opinion into fact, into a diagnosis.

 We are the ones who take ownership of an opinion and make it our diagnosis.

We allow an opinion of ourselves when we are at our lowest to rule and define us for the rest of our days.

You know this is insane; if you knew someone close to you made this self-diagnosis, you would call bullshit!

If you can come to terms with this reality and see that, in that moment, you were your own worst enemy, then the Good News is, there is hope for you.

Here is a selection of coping skills, miracles, in fact, that you can embrace today to experience peace of mind and a newfound self-worth.

My name is Richard, the creator of Trauma Recovery Anonymous. I was raised as a roman catholic, believing this was God's chosen Christian denomination and that if I wanted to get to heaven, this was the only way. But as I grew, I became disillusioned with my faith, and I thought rejecting the Roman Catholic doctrine meant I was cut off from God.

This was soul-destroying for me and led me down a dark hole of despair, doom, and gloom.

This is my story of redemption, and I pray it might help even one other prodigal soul, lost in 'No Man's Land' of life.

Today I have a personal, intimate relationship with God, but for me, it doesn't involve being a part of any man-made religion or denomination; I decided I was only open to a one-to-one relationship, and of all my life decisions, this is by far the best.

Thank you for this opportunity to share my testimony with you

My personal battle with depression and how I came through it.

I don't normally talk about my battle with depression, being in recovery from addiction to alcohol and gambling. This truth got lost in those stories, but I realize there will be people who never go down the road of addiction, and their only problem is depression; therefore, I need to share  both the curse and my redemption.

At no point do I suggest that others should follow my path; I made some reckless and foolhardy decisions, like going 'cold turkey', a path I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I experienced a spark in my soul, that there was more to life than this chosen suffering; that was the turning point for me.

There was something deep inside of me, telling me that this solution- 3 years in- was not working and that I needed to find a better  solution to heal the hole in my soul

. People couldn't see how this thing, this memory, was eating away at me; they could see how it was manifesting in my life, and all they could treat, were the Effects and so they tried to treat the manifestations

But the manifestations, the behaviors, the stinking thinking and faulty feelings, they weren't the problem, they were might best efforts at coping.

 They were the Effect and not the Cause

The Cause was eating away at me, my broken spirit, my wounded soul; this was what needed to be treated and healed.

This is my story of a downward spiral into despair and despondency and subsequent rise out of the ashes of the bondage of them past, into embracing and befriending my feelings like a phoenix.

I hope my story empowers you to change your circumstances

That you realize you are letting the dark energy around something that happened to your inner child, a lifetime ago; to rule and define you today.

That is the insanity of a mental disorder diagnosis

You are being treated for something that didnt happen to the Human Being you are today.

And that is just plain wrong!

There is a spiritual solution available today to heal the hole in your soul caused by the Cause.

It's time we treat the Cause and stop treating the Effect!

PTSD & Depression belong in the past, and the past is none of your business.

These mental disorders found their form in past trauma that didn't happen to the person you are today.

There is a spiritual solution that empowers you to give those sympathy pains back to their rightful owner, the actual victim of the trauma in another lifetime; your inner child.

#healinganypasttraumamemory

And the 12 steps of Trauma Recovery Anonymous, is a simple daily plan for living, that helps you never take up the mantle of victim ever again, even if it feels justified

#traumarecoveryanonymous

When you are ready to do the work, know you don't have to walk this path alone, Richard can take one person; 2 people; 10 people; even a hundred people at one time. In this way you can compare your experiences and results and continue to thrive as recovery buddies.

When working this program we all use the same formula without divulging personal details, so we don't feel we are judged or the need to compare, we are all on a level playing field of recovery

The formula we use is:

"UP UNTIL THIS MORNING,I HAVE CARRIED THE MEMORY OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY INNER CHILD [ insert the name and age of your younger self here] AND SYMPATHY PAINS FOR THEM AS A SHOW OF SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY FOR WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH, BUT AFTER LISTENING TO THIS REEASONING; I REALIZE I ERRED; IT WASNT MINE TO PROCESS, AND SO I MAKE THE DECISION TO GIVE THE DETAILS AND BAGGAGE BACK TO MY INNER CHILD UNCONDITIONALLY, WITH LOVE & GRATITUDE" 

You can book your healing event here.

[email protected]

You will need to purchase and read both books prior to the event. this is all about you healing your soul, you are going to do the work and claim your miracles

The cost of this process is $60.pp, payable prior to the event.

Let your Inner Child Leave

Your inner child doesn't want to be here anymore; not to go on play dates or to play happy families. They suffered, endured, survived, and overcame their trauma so that the you of today would be free to have a life beyond their wildest dreams. They never asked, wanted, or needed you to fight their battles for them, nor to suffer their pains and hurts either.

They achieved all that; the terrible mistake we commit is to dig up their grave, take from it their hurts, and tell the world what happened to them happened to us

When we do this, we unknowingly betray our inner child, taking them hostage against their will; we become a present expression of their abuse.

We must let our Inner Child leave this plane of existence immediately, so they can step into the light, into the mansion The Father has prepared for us all, where there is neither hurt nor pain.

This is the gift that we give to them, and by doing this, we benefit from it, as well as our estranged loved ones, family, and friends.

Trauma Recovery Anonymous is the only solution available today that enables each individual to give the details and the baggage of the past back to its rightful owner, and provides a 12-step program as a plan, a design for living one day at a time.

Stop looking over your shoulder or you'll keep tripping up on life in the present.

The past is none of your business, not today.

Today is all your business and where all your attention and focus should be. What happened this morning, yesterday, or any other part of your past, happened to a younger aspect of you that isn't the person you are right now, reading this or listening to this post.

You are the survivor today of all your past yesterdays.

Stop looking over your shoulder at the past; you can't change any of it.

What happened in the past, happened to a younger aspect of you, we call that person, your inner child,

They are the victim of the trauma, not you

You are the survivor today making that terrible mistake of continually looking over your shoulder, as though you can change any of it.

But the truth is, your inner child suffered, endured, survived and overcame that event, so that you would be free of it today, in their future, to have a life beyond their wildest dreams.

They never asked,  wanted or needed you to fight their battles for them, nor to suffer thier pain either.

What they need from you; is for you to return to them the details and baggage of what happened to them. 

They cannot cross over into the light without their baggage, and by your actions,you keep them hostage here in your present against thier will, and in so doing the death, decay and idsease of their trauma is destroying everything and everyone in your life, and all your goals, hopes, dreams and aspirations.

You know this is your truth

Just know, this truth is the truth that shall set you free

But only you can make the decision from this moment to stop looking over your shoulder at a past that didnt happen to you, that is none of  your business.

It's high time you let your inner child go by embracing the 2  part spiritual solution that is TRAUMA RECOVERY ANONYMOUS

I had the great pleasure of having a guest on, who battled with the stigma of dyslexia in a world where no one in his community understood what was going on for the child Willie Blake, all those years ago.

It was a daunting time to find out your condition that was meant to help, alienated all your friends from you, because they thought there was something broken about you

 In this conversation, Willie talks about that journey and how he came through it, and how he wanted to control his condition rather than be controlled by it.

This is his story of rising from the ashes and rising like a phoenix boldly into life, using his experiences to help others

Sit back and enjoy this insightful recounting of how any person can overcome adversity and turn it into something to be admired'

I give you Willie Blake

There is a permanent solution to depression as a disorder, and that is a spiritual one: to heal the hole in your soul, eating away at you.

Depression, like Despair and Despondency, are our God-given instincts telling us to literally 

Ignore the past

It's no longer any of our business

We are the survivor today

It was a younger aspect of us from another lifetime who suffered that memory as an event.

It didn't happen to us. We are to leave well enough alone and focus on our lives and responsibilities in the present.

When we feel depressed, we are meant to jump into action 

FLIGHT or FLIGHT

These are the two healthy responses for those going through both adolescence and adulthood.

Unfortunately, many of us are stuck in our early childhood development responses of

FREEZE & FAWN

Freeze and Fawn were very healthy when we were children dependent on others, 

But as we grow into adulthood, we are meant to put away childish things and embrace adult responses.

For many of us conditioned into believing we are mentally ill, that we have a mental disorder, part of the trap is that we are to become dependent on therapy, therapists, and medication to rule our lives and decision-making.

We get to go through life as CHILD-ADULTS. [ neither whole child nor whole adult]

We get to remain in freeze & fawn dependent on others.

This leads to terrible conflict in our family and personal relationships, because the only people who will play this game with you are those who get paid to.

But if you can come to see the truth of this and be open to breaking free of whatever past bondage rules and defines you, you can step back into the land of the living, in the present, to form and have normal, boring human interactions and relationships.

See your depression as God calling on you to let go of the past and to give it to him, and you will be amazed before you are halfway through.

We break the bondage of the past by giving the details and baggage of the past back to its rightful owner, our inner child; we knowingly refer to our past selves as the inner child. This is all the proof and sound reasoning to know the past is and never was yours

 Your inner child was the victim of the trauma; hence, the depression is theirs too

You are the survivor today, looking over your shoulder, looking back at what they went through.

The 2-part 12-step program TRAUMA RECOVERY ANONYMOUS & the healing event HEALING ANY PAST TRAUMA MEMORY both take three hours to complete.

Once this work is done, the individual feels the complete release of all that baggage, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

i am delighted to have a guest on my show who experienced being diagnosed with dyslexia at a tender age, and his friends, about him, didn't understand it and shied away from him.

This had a damning effect on Willie Blake growing up, but thankfully he emerged from adolescence to adulthood as a mighty phoenix from the ashes of a disturbed childhood.

Willie's goal in life is to help parents nurture and encourage children, or anyone diagnosed with dyslexia, to know it simply means that person has a very high IQ, and to learn that dyslexia is not a weakness

Here is his testimony

There is a permanent solution for  Social Anxiety, and only you can create this solution.

Imagine I invite you to a social event and your social anxiety kicks in. Understand, I invited you because I like you; I feel you would be a good addition to my friend circle.

And you decide in this moment to look on your anxiety as a superpower, a call to action.

And so you take the appropriate action: you phone me, thank me for the invite, telling how you find it difficult meeting new people, but you want to excel this time around, and what would help would be if i told you some of the interest,hobbies and details of those attending the event; that way i would know if i am a fit for your friends, and i could do my homework before the event, so when i met your friends i would fit in ,we would have things on common.

I agree this is a fantastic idea, and i give you a full rundown on everyone, including myself.

Suddenly, you realizes if you take an interest in what my friends like, they will be drawn to you, like i am.

You go to the event, you fit right in, you are able to take part on all the cconversations at no time do you feel out of your depth. you do your homework on this group so well, that before the nights out you get invited to join their iterests and hobbies, and the beautiful experience is realixing by trusting your anxiety and using it, you have suddenly made a whole new group of friends.

Just for one moment, let that feeling set in.

All of your feelings, the good, the bad, and the ugly, are your God-given instincts, calls to action to: 

Flight or Fight in the face of any danger, real or imaginary

YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN CHANGE YOUR THINKING,ATTITUDE AND PERSPECTIVE
